The district covered by the earthquake

The general direction of the quake was

minutes. The damage in New Mexico and
Arizona is trifling. In the sulphur
Springs Valley. within - miles of
Tombstone, tissures occurred in the bel
of an old stream and considerable
amount of water spurted out. After
three days all dried up but two which
appear permanent and are running a
small amount of water of ordinary tenn
perature.
Succeeding the shocks fires were OBJ
served in many mountain ranges. giving
rise to reports of volcanic action. The
first and most severe shock rolled boul-
ders down the mountain SIDES, raised
clouds of dust which, with the accom-
panying noise, caused many To think a
volcano had broken out. all of which
was surely imaginative. there having
been no eruption in any part of the Se,'

the point where it runs east and west

CHICAGO BRICKLAYERS' STRIKE.
They Demand that Pay Day be Changed
from Monday to Saturday

CHICAGO, May 11.-Neariy a thousand
bricklayers and stOnemasOns asked the
bosses, this morning. To change pay day
from Monday to Saturday and where the
demand was refused the men laid down
their trowels and quit work. Fully five
hundred men struck work by 10 O'Clock,
while others who had given the contrac-
tors a few hours to decide began to leave
later. BY noon six hundred men We're
out. The strike is not in any way con-
nected with that of the carpenters hod
carriers.
The bricklayers claim that a majority
of the bosses were willing enough to
give in, but they were bound by the
Master Builders Association and would
be- boycotted if they acceded to the de
mands of the men. In that case they
could not obtain any brick from the ma
terial men, who in turn were afraid Of
being bOycOtted by the association. The
strikers have IN anticipation the build
ing of large structure for hall and
stores on the ground floor owned by
their union, and say that If
they can get the brick from
the manufacturers they will put in their
time this way. As the strike is not
sure of sympathy with the hod carriers
and the Union is not in any way CON
nected with any other labor organiza-
ton, it is not thought that the carpenters
or any other Union will be affected by
uo-day's strike. The Amalgamated Assoc
citation of Building Trades, Guiding the
brick makers, carpenter, plasterers
and Others dissatisfied with the
status of affairs in the hod carriers
trouble, and may strike Saturday.
